[musictlk] creating braille music scores

Wed Dec 10 14:25:02 UTC 2014

Availability with NVDA would really be something.  Think about it: if
at some point Goodfeel were available to windows users with NVDA
scripts, and Mac users with voiceover, no one would need to pay for a
screenreader if they don't use Jaws.  Everyone would be covered.

Also, I have about had enough computer problems in the last few years
with windows to last me a life time, mainly because I'm not tech-savvy
enough to fix problems before they escalate.  I know the mac has its
own viruses and issues, but it's closer to my vision of a computer
that I can just use to do my work, send email and surf the interwebs,
and write music without catching something.  Also, there's garage
band.
